Nonlinear Dynamics for Tech Strategy
Created by Mayank Dave
Explore how feedback loops, chaos theory, and advanced deployment practices power modern software decisions—from predicting churn to stabilizing cloud resources. By the end, you’ll model, validate, and ship nonlinear systems that stand up in production.
Requirements
- Comfort with basic differential equations and feedback concepts
- Experience interpreting business KPIs like churn and LTV
- Familiarity with cloud deployment and basic Python scripting
What you'll learn
- Design feedback-driven business and infrastructure models that anticipate nonlinear effects.
- Deploy and monitor robust nonlinear models in production environments.
